Making Merry!

Christmas cards that is!

Today I decided to make a series of Christmas cards inspired by a number of non-Christmas challenges.

First up is a card for CAS Colours & Sketches #389.

I liked the 3 verticle stripes and decided to use a stamp which had 3 different verticle Christmas trees. I ithem up with my Kaleidacolor ‘Caribben Sea’ ink pad and added them over some gold glitter paper and teal cardstock.

Next is a card for Colour Hues #2 – Navy & Turquoise.

I love the idea of using non-traditional colours on a Christmas card and decided to use my favourite Christmas tree stamp from Altenew ‘Sketched Evergreen’. I used Catherine Pooler inks in Fiesta Blue, Something Borrowed and Juniper Mist.

Lastly is a card for The Male Room Challenge #142 – Travel and Festive Friday #68.

I decided to make a card with Santa and his sleigh (that’s travel right?). I created a night sky background, a silver embossed sentiment and added a Santa sleigh die cut and my card was done.

As you can see I used purple, blue, metallic and stars from the Festive Fridays inspo board on my card.

Thanks for stopping by for a look. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
